Q: Do you see similarities between Peterson and Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman?RW: "Well you know Patrick Peterson -- I’ve only gotten to play against him a few times. But, he’s just lightning fast, he just has great ball skills, just understands the game, he just can run so well. You can tell that he has a presence out on the field. Richard Sherman is obviously the same way. Richard Sherman is a little bit longer. I think that’s what makes Richard so, so good. He really is a receiver out there. He’s a like a 6-3 receiver that can fly, too, as well. He’s got great ball skills.
"So they’re both very similar. I love that we have Richard Sherman our team, though. I know that. He’s something special. Just watching him out there, going against him in practice every day, is awesome. And then we have so many other guys, too, as well, that really do step up. You think about Brandon Browner, you think Walter Thurmond, you think about Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, and all of the rest of the guys that I could name. You know they’re all good football players and we get them ready to play."
